All, This is a simple FYI that can be added to the collection of material about why Hash based HTTP URIs aren't perfect. Basically, this also relates to the persistence of the warning notice re. Hashless URIs in the WebID spec, at the current time. See: http://bit.ly/XcTP9R . Problem: The SPARQL query results URL resolves to a document bearing the SPARQL query solution (or resultset). As you can see, there's a single column of HTTP URIs that are really Web-scale Super Keys (one of the many powerful aspects of Linked Data). If you click on one of the URIs you won't resolve to the description of the entity denoted by the hash HTTP URI, instead, you'll end up with the entire Good Relations ontology. If I flip this demo around and work with a localized data, the problem goes away, but that requires a specialized kind of application where de-reference is localized, and when I say that, it has nothing to do with cache invalidation, since the presentation of the data requires some app. logic. See: http://kingsley.idehen.net/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fgoodrelations%2Fv1%23BusinessEntity . Henry/Andrei: I am now giving you a "deceptively simple" demonstration of this problem. I have a very simple goal here: help you really understand why the notice is an unnecessary distraction. If you refute this point, there's a very simply why to nullify my claims. Make an application or simple demo that refutes these demos. BTW -- here's the same thing for DBpedia : http://bit.ly/VnNlrI . As per the GoodRelations example, click on the hashless HTTP URI based Super Keys. That's what this kind of URI facilitates. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
